SPEOIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,009, dated. July 10, 1883.

Application filed Apr-i130, i853.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEOPOLD Illowsni, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Plumbers Charcoal Furnnces, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the :icconipmiyiug drawings, 'forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

Figure l is a plan view of my improvement, partly in section, through the line i a, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is n. sectional side elevation of the some, taken through the line 9 y, Fig.

The object of this invention is to pronmte convenience in the use of plumbers (dun-emit furnaces, and security against lire in such use.

A represents the body or shell of the furnace, which may be of any dcsi rod or convenient size.

To the opposite sides of the upper end of the body A of the furnace are attached ears B, to which are hinged the ends ol'thn bail ii.

To the inner surface of the shell A. is securcdu lining, D, extending don-'nwm'd from the top of the said shell for ubout two-thirds its depth, making the upper port of the .l'urnace double-walled to protect the outer shell from the fire, and thus niuke thci'urnu'cc more durable.

1), is bent inward to form a seat for the concuved ash-pan J, which is provided at the upper side of its center with a handle, K, for convenience in putting it in and taking it out. With this construction on fLlF-CllitlllbGl, L, will be formed in the lower part of the furnote,v lirongh which air is made to circulate by openings M, formed in the lower part of the shell. A, so as to keep the bottom of the furinicc cool. For the same purpose a plate or reflector, N, of a less diameter than the furnace, is attached to the center of the convex lower side of the ash-pun J, to prevent heat from being radiated against the bottom of the furnace.

Tot/he bottom of the furnace is attached a convex reflecting-plate, O, to reflect upward any heat that would otherwise strike the said bottom and warm. it. \Vith this construction the bottom of the furnace will be kept cool, so that the furnncc,whcn in use, can be set upon or lloor or carpet without any danger of setting the said floor or carpet on fire.

l'luving thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A plunibers charcoal-furnace consisting of the body A, lutving the door 1 the grade 1, above the door, the ash-pan J, carrying on its bottom n. reflector, N, and supported below the d or the air-inlets M, and the convex reiiectoifO orer the bottom, as shown and described.

The shell, or body A of a charcoal-furnuce, provided with the inner lining, 1), extending from the top downwardly, and turned inwardly to form 21. supportingl'lnngc for the ash-pun, as shown and described.
